ATT=

5 bytes

Command or Query.

xx.xx=00.00 to 20.00, in dB, in 0.25 dB steps as factory default.

Default value: 10.00

Example: <1/ATT=12.25’cr’

Auxiliary Mute

Enable

AUX=

1 byte

Command or Query.

Sets or returns the auxiliary mute mode in the form x, where:

0=Disabled (default value)

1=Enabled

Notes:

1) When enabled, the mute control input on the remote com connector must be grounded to UN-MUTE the unit.

Otherwise, the unit will be muted, and if a mute query is given (MUT?) the response will be MUT=2 to indicate

a hardware controlled mute is present.

2) Aux mute is one of several hardware mute states that can cause a MUT=2 to be reported. See the MUT

command for more info on mute states.

3) Auxiliary mute supersedes the user mute state so if the command MUT=1 is sent, then AUX=1 is sent, and the

user shorts Pin K to Pin S on the discrete control connector then the RF mute will be disabled (MUT=0).
